Students in Pursuit of Style The fads and fashions of the 1984-85 school year were reflec- tions of both the new and the old. Prep and punk were fashionable this year along with everybody’s favorite old stand-bys, sweats and tennis shoes. Every color and pattern imaginable were mixed and matched. Pin striped, checked, and solid striped jeans in all colors were popular among the fashion plates and trend setters of Capac High School. Dyed tennis shoes, solid colored flats and Reeboks were favorites of the girls, as well as ankle-high boots and docksiders. Big, baggy shirts, preppy sweaters, and punk shirts with cowls became all the rage. Fluorescents also found their way to Capac, in the forms of short socks and sweatshirts. Big colored earrings, traditional gold jewelry and iridescent pearls add- ed sparkle and splash to many outfits. Leather jackets, jean jackets and felt coats were seen making their way from the park- ing lot to the school. The guys went for thin ties, high tops, pointy-toed lace ups, and jeans. Docksiders, oxford cloth shirts, and crew neck sweaters made the grade for all those preppy guys out there. Ocean Pacific, alias OP, became a favorite of both boys and gals. Capac’s fashion scene, usually behind the times, picked up the pace and held on to it in 1985. -Pam Robbins Animal sweatshirts and big colorful beads were enormously popular in Capac High School. Reeboks, flats, and ankle-high boots had the reign of popularity in footwear in 1984 - 85 .

One of the things we wish we could do more often is sleep in a comfortable bed like this student above. Once we wake up, an entire school day will await us. This is the Life! For a Student Anyway The typical day of a student is not quite as easy to go through as one might imagine. What exactly awaits this peacefully sleeping student? Today, the day may bring loads of homework, pop quizzes, chapter, tests, or hour long lec- tures. Maybe the next several hours will be the easiest day ever, as all teachers assign free days. Well, maybe not. Today, a student will enjoy himself playing lunchtime basket- ball or at practice afterschool. Academic skills will be built in class, and the latest gossip may be exchanged in the halls. There is more to student life than just coming in to school in the morning, going to class, and then going home. Student days are often long, here, and seeming- ly neverending, yet there are days that go by fast and easy, so you wonder just where the time went. Some days it’s the same old routine, but like the saying goes, somebody has to do it. Here, presented in a somewhat logical and serious format, is a “typical” day out of a student’s life. --Jim Smith When that big test is coming up, the library is a good, quiet place to study. All alone, doing some homework is Mary Krauss. 14 Student Life
